Chapter 345 A Self-Directed Play

When Chloe woke up, it was to the sound of crying. Lying in bed, she looked at Regina in a daze. The

latter was crying and wailing profusely. She asked with difficulty, “Mrs. Regina…. Where’s Icarus?”

When Regina saw Chloe had awoken, she pointed at Chloe and screamed, “My son nearly died to

save you. They’re still trying to save him in the surgery room right now!”

Chloe’s messy mind cleared a little. She asked in disbelief, “But we had our seatbelts on…”

Though they had gotten into a car accident, their injuries should not be so vastly different.

Regina explained that the car that hit them was a tanker truck and could have exploded at any minute.

They had to distance themselves from the truck quickly. At that moment, Chloe was trapped in her

seat. Icarus’ legs were injured, but he extricated himself and saved her.

Consequently, he lost too much blood through his leg wound and might be disabled for the

rest of his life.

Chloe was stunned before she fell into pain and deep self-reproach.

At six o’clock the next morning, Icarus woke up after the anesthesia subsided. Other than a slight

concussion and mere physical injuries, Chloe was fine. Hence, she took charge of taking care of

Icarus.

“Chloe, you’re hurt too. Don’t worry about me. The doctors are here. You should rest.”

Chloe shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Regina snorted. “This is the self-awareness that you should possess. My son turned out this way

because of you. If anything happens to him, you’ll be responsible for it for the rest of life.”

Chloe’s eyes flickered but she said did not refute.

“Mom, stop.” Icarus furrowed his brows. He turned to Chloe and said, “Chloe, go and buy some

breakfast. Just get some fresh air.”

Chloe could tell that he did not want her to face his mother’s rebukes and whispered, “Okay.”

After getting some buns and oatmeal, Chloe received a call from Noah. His voice was as pleasant as

always, like a gentle spring breeze.

“Coco, are you free?”

After a slight hesitation, she asked, “Is it about the endorsement?”

“No, there’s something else I’d like to ask you.”

“Okay, come meet me at the hospital then.” She then told him the number of her ward.

“Are you sick?”

“No, I got into a car accident. It isn’t serious.”

“Okay, let’s talk face-to-face.”

Noah arrived at the hospital at nine o’clock. He went upstairs based on the direction Chloe had given

him. The number of Chloe’s ward was 317. When he passed by Ward 316, he heard a man whispering

about something.

“I’m in the hospital and she feels very guilty now.

“Yes, correct. Don’t force Chloe. Let her compromise and she’ll give in when the time is right.

“Mm-hm, hurry up and deal with Joseph. If there are too many accidents, people will get suspicious.

“Just keep an eye on Chloe. Don’t let her go to Joseph. I’m confident that I can marry her.”

Noah smirked and quietly took a few steps back, hiding himself in the shadows. Everything was just a

self-directed play, and it seemed like Chloe had been fooled.

After dwelling on it for a while, he decided to tell Joseph that Chloe was hospitalized.
